The name Conseillante appears from the middle of the eighteenth century. It was bequeathed by a influential person who ran the property 300 years ago soon: Catherine Conseillan. The Conseillante of Saint-Emilion, Pomerol on the board with a clay and gravel with iron in the dirt basement, wine comes from vines which certainly enhances Merlot (70%) but the Cabernet Franc, with 25%, gives the wines a freshness, complexity and richness special. The purple cap with his Conseillante recalls for its characteristic aroma of the raw. These elements selected in 1871 by brothers Nicolas remain an elegant modernity at the dawn of the XXI Century.

(12-2010) Tasted at the La Conseillante vertical at Chez Bruce. The La Conseillante '64 has a light, fragrant, simply bouquet, quite ferrous with touches of tobacco and just a hint of truffle, though it does need more vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with a grainy entry, a citric thread of acidity, quite masculine with firm, almost obdurate tannins more redolent of a '66. Yet this has commendable weight and sufficient fruit on the finish, interlaced with touches of soy and tobacco. Lovely, but fading. Tasted December 2010.
